Mrs. Anderson said to be interested in Kan

Let us take the children in our arms and
save them from the damages of sin. win
20 home and double my energies, seek my
soul full afresh from the great fountain OF
love and sympathy in Gods heart. l win
see to it that next year I double my dill
gence. There never was q Sunday School
teacher that taught in vain.
J. W. Campbell said that we ought to
have L COX, 600 persons in our Sunday schools.
We have about zoe, 600, there is work to get
in the 100000 Rev. s. B. Fleming: Here
we get up out Of the valley, let Us get up in
to the heights and take in the grand out
look. In no like period has any state re-
ceived such a grand food Of immigration
What is to be It's welcome? Is there no work
for the Christian workers to do! Let Us
look and be impressed with the fact that now
is q crisis which we must meet
or be recreant to q great trust
There is neei for present entire
conservation to the Sunday school work for
probably not one-fifth of our children are in
the Sunday school.
J. r. Silver-I do not take in my response
bility to the state but take in my response
bihty to my home and county work
Fifteen hundred teachers laboring in the
Sunday schools of Shawnee county.
Resolutions of thanks for hospitality OF
citizens, for favors by newspapers and kind
ness of church officers.
J. F. Drake called the attention OF persons
who desired to go to the Chicago convention
to report at once to him.
In many respects it has been one OF the
best conventions we have held. AS far as
conveniences and congregational singing are
concerned we never had better. II am one
of those who feel little sore about Wichita.
Last week l sold from this counter $500
worth of tickets for Wichita said our tick
ct agent at Emporia.
Rev. ]. W. Love said we have been bene-
flied more by you than You by US.
At this stage W. E. Stanley took the
platform and from counties aud individuals
raised, az usual, more than was asked, so
that instead of $500 we record 81, 64s.
The closing speech was made by Rev. E. b.
Barnitz-May you find some one redeemed by
your gifts tonight, waiting to meet you at
the beautiful gate, Here we are on the
mountain top we must How 60 down to do
our work never come to the close of such
convention but think of the vision Of st
Bernards, who, in sweet communication with
Christ, hear the call come down and feed the
Lords poor. st. Bernard went down and
when he returned he found the master wait
ing to greet him He said feared that when
returned you would be gone, but the Lord
replied, hadst thou not gone down had long
ere this taken my departure, but now say
'Inasmuch as you have done it unto ono Of
the least of these my bretheren, You have
done it unto NO." So we must go down to
feed the Lords poor with the bread of life.
Before closing Prof Burke sang with won
derful effect, 1.-THE Handwriting on the Wall
while tn audience listened with hushed and
solemn interest.
Rev. Barnitz pronounced the benediction
ard thus closed a meeting which all enjoyed
and which will long be remember, not only
for what was received from persons of the
convention bur quite as much from the citi-
Gems in their homes and about the city.
